I took particular care not to push it through turn 4 and was a bit anxious of creating an issue but once i settled in it was awesome. While id love to have a 944 and race Im starting with 2kcup where the contingent costs are more manageable

Still fizzing over yesterday's track day.

Thanks JMc for that "7/10's" drive around the track yesterday - the R is very cool, feels light and nimble and turns in like a 911 can't. Just needed some 221's.........

Good to see Jake giving it some serious beans - plenty of tyre squeel into turn 1.......

And, you could hear Doug on most parts of the circuit.

Steve managed a 13.7 in the 997.1 targa car and I got a tow from Steve in the 964 Cup Car for a few laps to do a new personal best of a 14.2

Macca - missed you honey-buns..........

Thanks. Wish I'd taken it with my camera instead of my scratched up old iPhone!

Dumped all the photos off my camera onto a share. Thanks to those that picked it up and took a few snaps.

Maybe I buy it...Good project car.
I'll be amazed if it sells for anything close to that, Turners are notorious for putting low estimates on to draw the punters in.

I took the 996 down, cant keep the 930 cool enough on track, the 996 is a big sled but also BIG fun, battled some understeer though.

There was another 964 3.3T down there, didn't get a chance to chat with him though.

To be honest the looks are the biggest thing, so I'm not too worried about NA vs. turbo etc.

There are a few online that look well looked after, but are 15k or more. One on trademe (that just closed without selling, but I have the seller's details) for 8 - but it's auto and well and truly overdue for the cambelt change (2007). And another that I liked the look of (black) was listed for 5850 but sold before I could get in touch with the guy.

I guess the biggest thing I was wondering is how fluid the market is - if I keep looking for a couple of months will many more crop up? And are there any other places I should be looking to find ones that are on sale?

Thanks, this is a great community!

The red one on there looks tidy, it's been for sale nearly 1 year if he's serious about moving it there's some wiggle room on price?

Once you service and tidy up the one for 8k, it may be pretty close to what you can pick the red one up for?

A user here had a white NZ new 2.5 944 Turbo for sale, $12,500 from memory, perhaps if it hasn't sold, he will chime in.

Good luck

That was Nigel Kay (not the avatar but the Turbo!) He's on our tour to Taupo/Manfield so come to Taupo on the 14th and you'll see it again.

What a huge amount of fun and satisfaction that was. To be honest though it was a bit like the reserves coming on in the last 10 mins of the AB's game. We contributed but the hard yakka of disconnecting and labeling everything had taken John a huge amount of time prior to those final glory moments.
